Question & Answer
Question
What is the purpose of the original quantity field in IBM Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Suite?
Answer
This field is used for the following purposes.
- It is compared during shipping with the Quantity field in order to determine if the line quantity has changed or not.
- It is used to track the Max quantity ever requested in a shipment line. This is the reason why we only increase this field and not decrease it.
- Usually a very common use case is to decrease line quantity due to shortage of inventory, so this field tracks the original quantity ordered in a line.
